Is ‘Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon’ set to go off air?

The soap which went on air on May 28 has seen several twists and turns, but none that could keep the audience hooked for too long. And frankly, we are not surprised. We got bored soon after it started, around the time that Vivian DSena and Drashti Dhami made their appearances. Didn’t you?

It started with much fanfare and promises, with a couple of gentle controversies thrown in, but it is a big letdown in terms of content and originality. Inspite of having star actors like Vivian DSena (Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani) and Drashti Dhami (of Geet Hui Sabse Parayi) in lead roles, – Madhubalacouldn’t create any new waves. We had a word with Vivian, who said, “Yes, it’s true that the TRP of Madhubala is going low at the moment, but these things happen. The audience is very unpredictable. They like some things and they don’t like some things.”

At this rate, it won’t be long before the channel pulls out from the show. Frankly, we think that would actually be a wise decision, no? But we have to wonder, what’s really the reason behind the low TRPs?

Here are a few possibilities. Read on and let us know if you agree:

# The daily soap has a very run of the mill story, with no originality. Looks like the writers are suffering a mental block. First they get Madhu engaged, and then make RK sabotage her relationship, post which Madhu asks RK for money, for which she has to marry him. OMG! Are the makers now following Ekta Kapoor’s tried and tested patterns like in Kasauti Zindagi Kay and a few other soaps?

# A serious lack of romance between the lead pair is a huge issue. It seems the makers have truly lost track of their original story plan, no?

All said and done, we believe that if the makers don’t pull up their socks right now, Madhubala will indeed meet an untimely end… don’t you agree?

nafisa

sorry i totally disagree….i think what’s written here is utter crap….Madhubala is the one and only show that am watching and following at present….

avinitha

madhubala is one of the best show in an indian television .v love u madhu and RK.u r d real stars, show is rocking.

aditi

agree madhubala is one of my favourite show

nd i love rk nd madhu

sundas naz

totall disagree..Madubala will soon break all Tp records and it is becoming most popular show..so i donot think so that Mb is going to off air..and i think u donot see last week TRp.it is better than many other shows…we love Madhubala so much and there are lots of its fans..we want to see Mb atleast three years ..

idea1234

I think people need to see the trend in trp’s yet again…TRP’s have improved …from 1.7 to 2…Also many of the popular shows which rules trp’s right now…had low trp’s in their initial months…That means thy should have gone off air long ago…I totally disagree.. the way the writer of this article has written it…MB is the only show which is worth watching…Its TRP…is much better than many of the so called shows…which has nothing new to offer…

idea1234

If shows with low trp’s were axed …then the shows which u have mentioned as competitors of Madhubala…dont even have a chance..V expect something good to from the website…not negativity…about a particular show…

Azi

Woah!!!

Why the hell is everyone behind MB? guyz is there no other show you would want to cover? Or MB is the only one to be written about…

And TRP’s really? We all know what crap TRP’s are and how they are being manipulated… MB is much better in terms of content and execution… 3 months a already so much of negative criticism…

cheap people first see latest trp that is 2.0 this quite good trp
go to hell

Anchit kaur

Ok Two telly shows at 8.30 are showing leads having ailment cancer & cashing the crap TRP, storywise madhubala is far better than these daily tortures . Ok behna show & HD started long back & MB is new so lets wait & watch,it very different where the professions of leads shown different,atleast not copying from other shows,chal also improved slowly so can’t say but it’s entertaining, I don’t like to see that anand movie torture in SP & Zee so want MB & LOK detergent no body watch that channel.

Sid

No dear Bollywoodlife we didn’t get bored when Vivian and Drashti made their appearances… as a matter of fact the serial picked up after that… and if u have soo much problem with Madhubala then please don’t watch it u have no right to bash or misguide the audiences!!!

preeti

madhubala is one of the unique show it’s not like other saas bahu saagas we r loving the serial it’s lot better then others shows going on tv . u just no how to crticise but do healthy criticism if u want to put foward ur suggestions don’t misguide the audience by spreading fake news

Madhubala is d best show….miss author go & check the facts before making such disgusting articles…who is paying you to write this…dont spread negativity….DD & Vivian are rocking together…concept is unique…every show takes time okkkk

arriya

i dont agree the show started to b much better the story is unique and it is the best story and we the fans started to see the chemistry between madhu and rk from the first meeting between them the romance should begin

Isnt this website part owned by Zee. And isnt Hitler Didi one of the less popular dramas of Zee as for Amrit Manthan whatz new in tht show… same old stuff and poor acting by most of the characters.

I agree tht MB does need to pick up on its story pace and show some exciting romance even if its devilish. But MB is one of the shows on the shows on tele with gr8 acting from all, brilliant direction and editing.

So stop bad mouthing it and spreading baseless rumours. There are shows on Colors with Trps much less than MB and still runn ing. Useless articles.

the basic reason of low TRP is the role of vivianDsena , which I think is over acting and a showoff.and away from a life reality.

idea1234

@Sudhir…Sorry 4 saying this ..bt like u I am here 2 express my opinion..According 2 you…the reason 4 low trp is Vivian…n his overacting…Lol…people are so confused …EARLIER THey used to say he is expressionless…n now overacting …That means Expressionles + Overacting=Fine actor….Hence proved …He is a fine actor…Many non fans turned into his fans…many of them who earlier called him Expressionles…are now saying…He is The best..

Sudhir …its easy to judge…..Bt its difficult to understand…Sorry to say this…there is nothing original in Indian tv…all characters…show larger than life characters n show off…Its just about liking..Beauty lies in the eyes of the viewer…TRP has increased from 1.7 to 2…Slow and steady wins the race…I hope that if the show goes up in the TRP chart you say the same thing…Vivian Dsena is the reason…

My intention is not to hurt…Bt your comment has hurt many fans…

Gud luck

MadhuMati

I think this is really different show! Give it it some time and it worth watching! Good story line….need major push!
Every character is fantastic! Well done guys!
Yes they need to show ROMANCE between MADHUBALA & RK.
This will definitely HELP!
They have wonderful amd uniquechemistry!
I love this show, it will be a big disaster if it off air!

iam very sorry sorry to say the show is very confusing n the character of vivian he iz a super star but has alot of free time to waist.its so confusing that his role iz positive or negative the marriage was soo overacting he was living alone n now his step father n step brothers comes nothing is posible with him on chances of romance only negativities…vivian is soo good looking but this character doesnt suites him..he is a hero n should work as a hero…the character of rk iz not good but vivian is the best i love him….

R.dhanjani

Madhubala is the best show on indian tv all this written abv is purely crap and the Trps are imprvng week by week

saher

vivian is the best he is the hotest person on the earth but rk is he problem the story is too slow n rk is too bad such a hard hearted person …no sympathy for any one.. he was supose to fell in love with madhu but conditions r becoming worst uff no romance n the step brother n father living under same roof with him i dont understand y he insults madhu mom always worst…the story line should be changed now they should show some thing positive about rk than it will work…best of luck vivian…

Ramya

Give more lines to Drashti first.Making Drashti stand like a doll and getting illtreated always is a major flaw.And don’t know why Vivian has such a hatred face always.Make him a little human.He is not a Vampire like his previous show.

abi

madhubala a different concept serial compare to other serials………..madhubala is really superb story…this is article is nonsense…

sandi

what is this.. u guys are going mad.. MB is the best serial in telly now its going awesome & vivi n Drashti doing a grade job.. please dont made a BAKAWAS article..

Rosh

Lol !! What a hilarious article!!
I think it should be noted that the TRPs are slowly but steadily increasing since last week.
And much worse shows are continuing even now, so there will be no question of MB going off – air.
Every show takes time to pick up and grow on the viewers, and once the romance track of RK & Madhu starts, I’m sure things will pick up soon.
It is not fair to write off any show so bluntly without giving it a chance……..I’m sure MB will do great over a period of time.
DD Rocks!!

Ritika

rofl……….awesome article ever, really this show is very boring with stupid presentation, it shud go off air soon.
Faltu, bakwas show ever!!

Ch Waqasali

well it’s not that the main lead roll are performing very good. The reason is that color tv is not that famous through out that why having problem with low TRP..

anmisha

well trp of a show matters lot…
but love madhubala just 4r Drashti…
we want to see Drashti in different look…
Hope when she becomes Heroine we get to c our princess so beautiful…

nothing will happen as said above …nw its getting interesting…its a entirely different story and it will rock btw the trps r also increasing now

pari

plzz say its not true

Shahrukh

Madhubala is the best show on indian tv and has got the best story.Trp is imprvng week by week

Zarin

While I agree with your article, I do have to wonder whether the vehemence of the show’s audience will succeed in keeping Madhubala afloat. I had sincerely wanted to like the show and in fact had found it quite entertaining at the start. The initial promos and episodes had so much promise.
Unfortunately, I feel that a lot of the show’s spark and punch was lost after the time jump. The biggest turn off was probably the contract marriage and the idea of Madhu falling in love with RK despite the atrocities he has committed. I had RK pegged as an antagonist (read: douche) from the initial promos but thought it would be portrayed in a far more entertaining manner.
Nevertheless, I think it’s too early to predict that the show is going to go off air already. It is only three or so months old.

anviksha

madhubala has interesting story it depends on audience choice some like saas bahu drama serial and some like youngster and different story..acording to my opinion madhubala TRP is increasing week by week.

I hpe Madhubala dnt go off air i will die if it does im enjoying the shw plz plz plz plz plz dnt let it go off air its my all time favourite shw nd the only reason why i watch colors xxxx I LOVE VIVIAN DSENA AND DRASHTI DHAMI XXXXXXXXXXXX

nicky sharma

i love seril and ilove hoer and horning

Saniya

Madhubala is a very good serial. Though the TRPs are low now, it will increase as the leads will fall for each other. TRPs will rise drastically as the romance will start.

Many of us like the serial very much. the story line though is not very uncommon, the back ground is different. We love to see the heroes who support their love at any cost like what was shown in Geet Hui Sabse Parai.

no it shouldn’t be off air,it is just taking off. and i ensure you it will be one of the best, because of its good story.

mandeep

it is the best show. zaruri thodi na hai ke her story pyar se start hi ho i like this because it is different from others aur ham bhul kaise sakte hai ki nafreat hi pyar ki phele sidi hoti hai. agar nafrat hai to pyar bhi aye ga as vivan dsena’s first show pyar ki yeh ek kahani i love this show and want it to be continued

Sumit

fatima

I Love Madhubala ek ishq ek junoon Serial …….

Madhubala is the best show right now, so why would they take it off the air. Drashti’s performance is outstanding and Vivian is doing a great job.

senthil

The relationship between lead pair is shown too harsh and is not liked by public.the attractiveness of both is not well utilized.very good looking and very bad conduct concept is rejected.

I also agree that Madhubala show rocks. I am waiting for Today’s episode

Melina

Do bring up some romance n lots of smile in madhu’s n RK’s face the trp will fly

amangal

TRP or no TRP.Irony is that audience has really got into watching rubbish otherwise they would have had loved the serial.Its fresh its fast and unpredictable.I wish it is saved otherwise there won’t be anything left worth watching except Yeh rishta kiya kehlata hai and Bade achay lagte hain.

Sanaya

No way! This is the best show currently on Indian television! How can it go off air so soon? I watch this show for vivian. He is so fit! His character however needs to calm down a little. Trp will go sky high as soon as vivian starts falling in love with madhu (like Arnav & Khushi)

Sanaya

No!
Please do not make this show go off air!
Everyone please watch it to increase TRP!!

sweet.heer

Namrata Goswami

This show is just ‘PERFECT’………….!!!!!!!!!!

Rituparna Ganguly

Mr. blogger being a regular viewer of the show i will say the show is quite great. it’s true that TRP is important for a show but we all knw that TRP is a changeable thing, ups and downs occurs. but that doesn’t mean that if a show is facing a bit low TRP instantly i’ll be taken off air..and speaking of storyline i didn’t find any similarity with kasauti zindagi kay or anything..it’s a different kind of show and yes refreshing.

manvika

it should not b happened at all…….. d show mst nt get off air as the main track is going to start nw………

pooja roy

hi todays episode was really boring there was much conversation between depalika and rk dont like to see them wanted to see conversation between RK AND MADHU their cats and dog fight that too in romantic way is much fun hope to see that

neha

mihika

Meher

After Geet hui sabse parayi this is my most favorite show… plz do not let this show go off air. We love drashti & vivan and look fwd to their relationship progressing in the coming episodes.

nitya

RK should get the show out of the channel…

nitya

vivian should be thrown out of the show…he don’t know acting…..

Kiran

This show better not go off air, it has only been couple of months so how can it go off air also many more romantic scenes between RK and Madu to happen. This is a great show and one of the best I have seen, Drashti and Vivian are both my favourite. Both are doing a great job, Drashti beautiful, stunning and cute as ever. Vivian cute and beautiful smile, a killer smile and you can’t take your eyes off him when he smiles.

shallu

you so stupid nitya.you don’t know what is real acting

neha

rk is doing very good job and i don’t think this will stop

Kritika

Vivian bhaiya u r my favourite u r so sweet and ur smile is very cute i wish u and vahbiz for your marriage . You r the real star and i think u r the best actor in the world

Madhubala is become a part of my life.. its my no.1 show.. i watched each episode twice or thrice, just to see rk n madhu.. i dont think, this show will go off air in near future.. there will be a lot to get happen.. just RK-Madhu love story starts..

shivani

this show is too good it should not go off air

NIB

This is super show and it is no1 show I like both vivian and drashati this show get good trp inshallah the acting an dailogs of rk is really ossume and madhu rk made best onscreen jodi love you vivian and drashti

Crazyfans

We are the crazy fans of Drashti who madly in love with her show MBEIEJ. we do not want to read an article like this within next five years.

This show is one of the best show in television . Drasti dhami is my favourite actress.her acting skill , beauty and vivian’s dialouge goes up the show,in future the chemistry of them signs of increasing trp.luv u drasti

Plz don’t do this. Madhubala is the best show nd other shows like amritmanthan,ek hazaaron… Are nothing in front of this show.

hasnaa

please dnt let the show go off air so soon rk n madhu love story is the best even the characters are doing so well

jenny

BEST SERIALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

asmafathima

It is the best serial it cant go off air……..it is the rocking serial…..!!!!!

shabnaaz

i dont think it will go off air this soon its not even a year it aired and your talking abt going off air the trp is not that bad the show is still on the top show .and its the best show ever .as for the trp not for only madhubala all the shows face this problem sometime its up and sometime down that does not mean it will go off air this soon we have many things and twist to see aboe and dont compare madhubala with other show coz its very different from other show and the best .we have to see madhu to become an actresse in the show now this track has not even start yet and talking abt going off air is not the right thing .madhbala rockssss drashti and vivian are superb love you both

Oommahani

Totally disagree. However, the show certainly needs some more twists and turns. RK should come back as the rude, and naughty man! Drashti’s sister should be replaced by another more performing actress, and madhu should be the promising actress, mentioned earlier, where RK could become jealous of her success and he totally drops down, and become a normal man. Ideas do not lag. Actors like vivian and drashti are very good. They should also don’t hesitate to be together, there is some distance between them, why? Because of their private life? Private life should be kept away from professional life if you want to succeed in tellywood or bollywood!

Rishabhs

Pls dont off this show it is the best serial ever
RK and madhu rocks

Roxta

madhubala is currently in the top 5 serials……so NO need 2 worry guyzzzz…….its a BLOCKBUSTER serial….sOoo take a chill-pill

Did R.K. and Madhu can be seen together once again in future???
If not,
the story have to be changed and make Madhu positive about R.K.
If this is not happened the serial may not go long because the viewers are quite angry because of serial’s dismiss or great twist in R.K. and Madhu’s life……..

Nathulaldak

Pls don’t seperate Rk and madhubala I request director. Pls show some romance between Rk and madhubala .madhubala should marry Rk not sultan.plsssssssss

abhilesha

there is no need for the serial to go off air…. and talking about the TRPs they are very good and if there is any problem in the story solve it( create some positivity for rk in madhu’s heart and mind)

Nathulal

Plsssssss I request the director pls show madhubala and rk positive not negative show some romance between them madhubala should marry to rk nt sultan plssssdd

wht non sense is goin on ? its so pathetic 2 c madhubala obeyin rk lik a puppet,whrz her self respect ? has she forgotten all d humiliations given by rk? hw can she do so,dis is degrading d women repo.
writers shud bring som boldness & bravery in d female lead of d soap,dnt show women 2 b so fragile & weak…..
m jst gettin disgusted wit madhu’s character so no wonder y d trp’s descending …..buck up producers..!!!!

kohena

yes i totally agree wid u.madhubala is the only show which does nt shw any crap type romance

gudiya

no we r totally disagree wid this news

we dont want to see off air of this show …

Rishabh

go to hell ..who said d trp is low ?

bloody hell befr look at d trp ..
such a crap news …

Rajni kashyap

plzzzzzzzzzzz mat band karo yar ek he to show hai jo dekhte hai

Megha Awasthi

No ways….it will not end cauz it is the no.1 serial on colors…..if channel will end this show then no one will watch this channel and colors grp will soon get down……I think channel should not take this risk……

Mrs. Singh

Throw away Sultan from this serial. Otherwise, public will stop watching the serial. Disgusting guy – Sultan! We want only RK & Madhu

sagarika

what rubbish.i disagree with this.it is the top most show & remain forever.i have never missed a single episode . it will surely grow up with more trps.

priti

Madhubala is the best show in television and yes,madhubala will not go off air but because of madhubala other showsmay go off air because it is de served by the show to continue for atleast(minimum) 6 to 7 yrs and complete more than 2000 episodes………..As the leads and the characters are fabulous………………..and I totally disagree to this..
